Knowledge is process that happens over time, it is a justified, true belief according to the tripartite definition. This definition is specifically linked to knowledge in a propositional sense which means the proposition must be true, justified and believed in by someone.

Known, known= Knowledge
Known, unknown= Belief
Unknown, unknown= Unknowledgeable
Impersonal Propositional Knowledge= Knowledge by description. Personal Knowledge= Knowledge by conviction Knowledge by introspection (self-examination) Knowledge by acquaintance Knowledge by practice Subconscious Knowledge= knowledge by instinct To be in The Know One must have a way of knowing and an area of knowledge in order to be a “knower” Ways of knowing (WOK)

Paradigm: A conceptual system for understanding experience, they are made by concepts in order to assist us in organizing experiences. such as mathematics orhistory.
Justification A justification is when you appeal to something other than what is being supported in order to “justify” your original point. It must…:
… be relevant and true
…Have clear language
… respect the principals of logic
There are three theories that can be used to justify truth, these are the:
Correspondence theory- comparing with facts of senses, experience and logic
Coherence theory- Truth Lies within the P.I.E test.
Pragmatic theory – Your personal thoughts, what you know that justifies your belief
PIE TEST- Public, Independent and Eternal P= everyone has access to the knowledge claim. Is it true to the society? I= Independent access to the claim. Is it true to you? E= will it always be true? If all three are answered by a yes then it is a universal truth ( e.g. the earth orbits the sun), it is true no matter where you go.
Knowledge claim This is someone’s point of view and this naturally brings up discussion. A few things to keep in mind when knowledge becomes the issue:

Knowledge claim
This is someone’s point of view and this naturally brings up discussion.
A few things to keep in mind when knowledge becomes the issue:
- Does the issue contain problematic concepts?
- What assumptions r being made?
- What WOK are involved?
- To what AOK does the claim belong?
- Is the knowledge claim cultural bound?
- What knowledge issues does the claim involve?
- What counter claims can be made?
What are YOUR views on the claim?
